This paper introduces Contextual Functional Analysis (CFA), an iterative framework that integrates Relational Frame Theory into traditional ABC models to better address the complexity of verbally complex human behavior by tracking how relational networks transform the functions of antecedents, behaviors, and consequences over time.
This paper synthesizes Thomas Kuhn's concept of taxonomic incommensurability with Jacques Derrida's notion of iterability to propose a model of transformative interpretation that navigates the tension between semantic discontinuity and intelligibility across scientific paradigms, thereby offering a nuanced framework for understanding scientific revolutions as dynamic negotiations of meaning rather than instances of radical relativism or simple equivalence.
This paper explores how embedding social media as a contextual learning tool in the Law and Technology module at QUB can transform a potential distraction into an effective educational resource, using a case study of 120 students' reflection journals to analyze benefits, risks, and student feedback.
This article argues that foreign agent laws in ten countries constitute a direct assault on rights-based social work by deploying a "hybrid-threat" narrative to criminalize foreign funding, and it introduces the "Four Vectors of Civic Asphyxiation" framework to analyze how these statutes range from transparency measures to eliminationist strategies that stifle civil society.
This paper introduces the concept of "parallel presence" to analyze how high-profile legal cases unfold simultaneously across interconnected legal, media, and public arenas, utilizing a synthesis of pragma-dialectics, dialogue theory, and polylogue theory to capture the complex argumentative strategies employed by litigants when addressing multiple audiences with distinct goals and criteria of relevance.
This multilevel meta-analysis of 90 studies involving over 58,000 participants demonstrates that self-transcendent experiences consistently produce significant medium-sized positive psychological outcomes, with the strongest effects observed in immersive, perceptually rich contexts and concurrent measurements among younger adults.
This systematic mixed-evidence review explores the complex motivations and experiences of gay, bisexual, and same-sex-active men in Iran who enter opposite-sex marriages, revealing how these unions serve as a negotiation between societal expectations of family duty and the pursuit of sexual autonomy, while highlighting the diverse and often concealed realities of their intimate lives.
Based on qualitative interviews with 55 migrant food delivery workers in Australia, this paper demonstrates that these workers leverage their ethnic social networks to interpret, cope with, and actively resist algorithmic control and exploitative mechanisms within the platform economy.
This international scoping review of 27 studies on Sport for Development interventions for youth reveals that while these programs effectively address diverse health and social outcomes using sport-based platforms, significant gaps in theoretical consistency, implementation reporting, and long-term sustainability data currently hinder the understanding of their transferability and scalability.
This mid-Atlantic single-center study utilizes thematic analysis of ten provider interviews to identify three key themes regarding how life events, clinical challenges, and the practice of medicine itself shape the perceived evolution of healthcare providers' religious and spiritual beliefs over their careers.
